we talk about academic $$$ like its a bad thing-it isnt

they cant pull academic $$$ as easily- maintain a GPA and its guarenteed
Athletic money for the most part is a year to year thing unless its in you deal

Academic money is the way to go. No doubt. Combine that with athletic and you get as close to a full scholarship as you can. Most coaches want their players to really do a on the academic money, then they can spread the athletic money around to multiple players. It makes sense.

I hate to burst your bubble, but even these 2 “unicorns” aren’t going to college for free (and I’m a big fan of both by the way, so don’t think I’m a hater). The sooner people understand the harsh reality, the better.

Listen, it’s simple math and once you analyze rosters it’s pretty easy to figure out who (if anyone is even potentially getting a full). Full rides are extremely rare in college sports, especially in women’s soccer. Unless you’re talking about a D1 head count sport like football or basketball.

Let’s use the UofM as an example.

They have 34 players on the roster.
Check out the resume of some of these players on the roster. (To save you some time, here’s a hint...check out #1, #2, #8, #10. If anyone is getting a full or close to a full it’s these types of players).
They only have 9.9 scholarships to hand out. That’s it, 9.9 out of 34 players.
Now peruse the resumes of some of the remaining 30 players on the roster (other than the 4 I mention above) and think about who would be getting a “full ride” as everyone loves to think is happening.

Thanks, this is a worthwhile exercise for those that think full rides are just freely flowing to all top players. Big time programs (ie U of M) operate on a national/international scale. The players mentioned in the OP’s post are light years beyond the rest and are clearly full ride type players. The rest are all somewhat similar in pedigree. No way to determine where the rest of the $$ is going on this roster. Likely doled out in varying chunks across the board.

Yup. You just have to maintain a manageable 3.0 GPA and that academic money sticks all four years. Quit the team, as many will, and say goodbye to the athletic $.

There's no prize for getting mostly athletic $. If your kid gets to go to the college of their dreams, play some soccer AND not have to graduate in debt ? They won the golden ticket. Very few will.

Getting a large portion of your college education paid for is still wonderful.

It is, and it doesn't matter who you get there.

As for CFC's list usually it is a stronger than other clubs in the state in terms of the quality of the soccer programs kids go to. Almost no one goes to a top D1 program; DT just doesn't have that much top D1 talent. But CFC usually will have a deeper list of quality programs than other clubs; FSA gets some, the other clubs much less (they skew more D3). Of course many CT parents care more about the quality of the schools and there CFC does well also.

True....for the most part....yankee players end up quitting or transferring....better of just taking the low level d1 money and resigning yourself to the fact that you will continue to lose for 4 more years and you will have to put in work because you won’t be the favorite child anymore.

Op here. No need to turn it into a club bash fest. Try to stay on topic. YU has their own thread dedicated to that

It is true do. Yankee likes to point to the fast kid at northeastern as a successful d1 player. Except she wasn’t the Yankee princess. That one is on her second or third school right now if she is even still enrolled. Cd wasn’t even boy wonder to Batman, she was like cat woman. Wasn’t in every show

No need - YU brings it upon themselves and are bashed by all :) . CFC is not bothered by YU. Maybe back in the day when YU was much stronger and would take some Arsenal players, but those days have long passed.

not the poster but for mens it's most nickels and dimes. There's fewer scholarships to divvy up per program. International players will get top $ because most won't come here and pay our exorbitant tuitions. Give another close to full grant to the starting GK and a coach is left with 4 - 5 fulls to divide between 15-20 others.


Women's not only have more grants per team but international players aren't as big a factor (but it is growing). Fulls athletic rides aren't common but schools can carve out a total package to reach that. The average for a typical female player is more in the 40-60% range. Top studs get 70-85%

CFC players that committed to Big 10 schools as 9th graders were among the top recruits in the country at that time. They aren’t paying for college. When Big 10 coaches travel to CT to watch 9th graders train indoors, they aren’t offering partials

Big State schools typically grab a bunch of instate kid as well, they get in-State tuition which can be very low and perhaps aid, sprinkle in a partial and it’s dirt cheap for those kids.

All P5 schools have kids going for free. You have to be a unicorn but it’s there.

Haha..., keep trying to spin it. You don’t need to be an actuary to figure out that there are no unicorns in Ct that get full rides.
7-8-9th grade... haha
Kids that make the national teams and not tryouts get full rides. Everyone else is partial. Some more than others.

Clueless.

There are 333 D1 women’s soccer teams in the US. So according to you, full athletic scholarships are limited to the 22 young women who make the National team?

The players mentioned were both in and out of the National pool and on the radar for every program in the country.

I guess by your logic, a player like a Ellie Jean likely got a 10k partial to Penn State as she never made the full WNT.

Had on back to the 2007 girls thread and stay in your lane. You clearly have no clue how any of this works.

Assclown

I think his strategic use of “ha ha” twice legitimizes the post

I’m actually thinking of dropping him a note for recruiting help
